About Darryl
Darryl Khan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Hawaii with 20 years of clinical experience. He lists stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and addictions among the issues he works with. He also notes focus areas such as ADHD, grief, parenting strain, and anger.
Darryl earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology in 2003 and has spent two decades working with people facing chronic mental illness, substance use, and family or relationship conflict. He has experience supporting people who interact with systems like child welfare, family court, and public safety agencies. He draws on that background when practical matters affect a person's emotional health.
He uses cognitive behavioral approaches to map how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. He also uses dialectical behavior tools to help with emotional regulation and coping in high-stress moments. Existential work appears in his practice to help people reflect on meaning, choice, and personal values.
Sessions are described as interactive and culturally aware. Darryl often focuses on concrete skills and steps people can try between visits. He combines skills practice with discussion about life circumstances and problem solving.
People looking for help with life transitions, recovery from addiction, or managing long-term mood or anxiety concerns may find his practical emphasis useful. He works in English and is based in Hawaii. To begin, the site’s booking steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, homework tasks, and step-by-step plans to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.DBT teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. In remote sessions this can mean practicing breathing or grounding techniques, role-playing hard conversations, and rehearsing coping plans for intense moments.
Existential therapy invites discussion about values, choice, and what gives life meaning. That approach can help when people are facing life transitions, questions about purpose, or major changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT, DBT, and reflective conversation over several sessions to see what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when needed. These practical benefits can make it simpler to fit regular sessions into everyday life.
